DC TPB recommendations??

[mrc1214]

Hey everyone Im looking for some of the better trades to pick up since Infinite Crisis?? I used to have a pull list with a lot of DC but dropped it due to lack of space. So any trades that can help me get caught up Id appreciate it. I read anything from DC as long as its good.

Paul Dini's Detective Comics trades
Geoff Johns' Green Lantern tpbs

[Kid Kyoto]

Well I started collecting in the 80s so like many readers my first 'loves' are still the best.

Legion of Super-Heroes Great Darkness Saga
Probably the best the LSH ever was or will be, an army of mind-controlled innocents with the power of Superman, worlds burned to cinders, heroes versus evil gods... this is what you call epic.

Alan Moore's books
I mean it's Alan Moore, doing Superman, Green Lantern etc

Perez's Wonder Woman run
Perez at his best, ordinary people who look ordinary, gods and goddesses who look divine, characters you care about, probably Wonder Woman's high mark collected in 4 TPBs.

Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns
Well d'uh.

The Challengers of the Unknown Must Die
Sale and Loeb (back when he was good) in a brilliant take on 60s comics, 90s comics and everything in between.

[Christopher Cross Is God]

I tried to stay within the range of anything that was published around or after the final issue of Infinite Crisis (June 2006).

Batman: Detective
Batman: Death in the City
Green Lantern: Revenge of the Green Lanterns (GL 7-13)
Green Lantern: Wanted: Hal Jordan (GL 14-20)
Green Lantern Corps: A Darker Shade of Green! (GLC 7-13)
Green Lantern: The Sinestro Corps War Vol 1 (will be released in February)
Justice Vol. 1-3
Justice Society of America Vol. 1: The Next Age
Secret Six: Six Degrees of Devastation

I'd recommend all 4 Manhunter tpb's, if you haven't read any of Andreyko's title.

And if you're still wanting to read more after all that, 52 vol. 1-4 wasn't bad.

The Challengers of the Unknown Must Die
Sale and Loeb (back when he was good)
I couldn't agree more - with both the recommendation and the "back when he was good". When I read those comics I was all over Jeph Loeb and convinced he'd make a great Superman writer. It's amazing how wrong you can be.
